When counting in Irish and using a noun there are a few things to remember.
- dó changes to dhá
- ceathair changes to ceithre
- for the numbers 1 to 6, you aspirate or add a séimhiú
- for the numbers 7 to 10, you eclipse or add an urú
As a reminder, the consonant s doesn't take an urú - so we don't add anything in front of the word seomra when counting from 7 to 10.
| seomra | room |
|---|---|
| dhá sheomra | two rooms |
| trí sheomra | three rooms |
| ceithre sheomra | four rooms |
| cúig sheomra | five rooms |
| sé sheomra | six rooms |
| seacht seomra | seven rooms |
| ocht seomra | eight rooms |
| naoi seomra | nine rooms |
| deich seomra | ten rooms |
| aon seomra dhéag | eleven rooms |
